The Oregon Daily Emerald, official student publication of the University of Oregon, Eugene, issued daily except Sunday and Monday during the college year. Entered in the postoffice at Eugene, Oregon, as second-class matter. Subscription rates, $2.50 a year. The Emerald’s Creed for Oregon “ . . . . There is always the human temptation to forget that the erection of buildings, the formulation of new curricula, the expansion of departments, the crea tion of new functions, and similar routine duties of the administration are but means to an end. There is always a glowing sense of satisfaction in the natural impulse for expansion. This frequently leads to regard ing achievements jus ends in themselves, whereas the truth is thut these various appearances of growth and achievement can Ik* justified only in so far as they make substantial contribution to the ultimate objec tives of education .... providing adequate spiritual and intellectual training for youth of today the citi zenship of tomorrow. .... “ . . . . The University should be a place where classroom experiences sind faculty contacts should stimu late and train youth for the most effective use of all the resources with which nature has endowed them. Dif ficult and challenging problems, typicul of the life and world in which they are to live, must he given them to solve. They must be taught under the expert supervision of instructors to approach the solution of these problems in ;i workmanlike way, with a dis ciplined intellect, with a reasonable command of the techniques that ; re involved, with a high sense of in tellectual adventure, jind with a genuine devotion to the ideals of intellectual integrity. . . From the Biennial Report of the University of Oregon for 1931-32. The American people cannot he too careful in guarding the freedom of speech and of the press against curtailment as to the discussion of public affairs ami the character ami conduct of public men. —Carl fschurs. “NO WONDER WE LOSE” INTEREST in scholastic activities could not pos sibly be increased by abolishing intercollegiate athletics, because sports provide, “the spirit of con test which is lost in a complete educational meta morphosis,” says Dr. Abbott Lawrence Lowell, re tiring president of Harvard university, in his fare well report to the board of overseers. This is a complete denial, from one of America's foremost educators, that athletics act as a deterrent in an educational system. This is contrary to the accepted belief of the great mass of people and the frequent warnings of pseudo-educators, who decry the increasing emphasis on college athletics Coming from one of the most distinguished edu cators in the United States, such a statement ought to call a halt upon the irrational policy of the authorities of some universities, Oregon among them, to stress major sports at the expense of minor activities. If Dr. Lowell’s statement means anything at all, it urges a wider dissemination of the “spirit of contest" empirically and not vicari ously among undergraduates. And the minor sports rather than their more publicized brothers accomp lish this purpose best of all. At Oregon the policy of sacrificing everything to football has shown us the fallacy of emphasizing one sport. It is true that many colleges are able to finance their whole athletic programs through the constantly mounting football receipts. Inves tigation of the Oregon situation will show that few seasons have been more than mildly successful financially, 1931 being an exception, and in nowise in proportion to the time or money spent upon football. The recently trimmed budget of the A. S. U. O. reveals a decreased amount spent on minor activi ties. The whole athletic program has been so shaved that only football receives anything more than slight support. This was not due to any ex pressed preference for football, but because of the necessity of balancing the budget, and the pre valent notion that no matter what else be sacrificed, football must be inviolate. Basketball, baseball, and track are the “poor re lations" in the Oregon athletic world. In competi tion with other schools of the Northwest we are able to offer a pitifully mall number of scholar ships and jobs. This is not true of football, how ever, the sport receiving us much aid as it dues at any other school. Nor in the lace of the hectic job of financing that faces the executive council can we offer any solution to the problem. A problem which we con ceive as not being an “overemphasis" on football, but an “underemphasis'" of minor and intramural sports. A careful investigation of the situation, by those who direct the athletics of the University, might bring some influence on the formation ol future politic, DISARMAMENT IS IMPERATIVE COMPLETING a long and eminent career, Frank B. Kellogg, former secretary of state, and am bassador to the Court of St. James, offers three definite remedies for a solution of the economic chaos facing the world. They are: disarmament, a general return to the gold standard, and the con clusion of the process of deflation. The first is the most important. "Military alliances and increased armaments never have kept the peace, and never will,” de clared Mr. Kellogg. “The war might have taught that lesson. In fact, in all the armory of politics there never was any thing so complete, absolute, and irrevocable a failure as the balance of power.! It was that political system, the constant piling! up of towers of arms and treaties, so that no one j should have a higher tower than any one else, that1 finally overbalanced and slid down into the hor rible waste of the last war, whieh is at the very i base of our troubles today.” The economic fallacy of war and huge prepara tions for war has amply been proved in our most recent experience. Even today the guns of Japan ese munition factories are supplied to Chinese troops. During the world war there was frequent exchange of material between the Allies and the Germans in order that the war might be continued successfully. There is a horrible inconsistency in a country furnishing an enemy with the materials to prolong the conflict. Wars are never started because of patriotic reasons, but because of economic ones. The realm of big business has entered into the rack eteers’ last stronghold; that of wholesale murder. ELIMINATE THE BICKEIUNG T7 XTRA-CURRICULAR activities on the Oregon campus will be successful only so long as they are conducted efficiently and with a minimum of fuss and confusion. Recently there has been con siderable discussion over the holding of dime crawl,: junior shine day, and similar functions. This is too bad, because all such commotion is directly harmful to the activities they concern. F'or the past two years, each dime crawl has been attended by continual bickering. Over such a relatively trivial matter, organizations have, quarreled, individual dissension has cropped out, and the entire situation has been rather pathetic and1 foolish. Students who looked impassively each motning at headlines telling of events of world-; wide importance were ready to fight at the drop of the handkerchief over dime crawl. Others who never batted an eye when they heard that appropri ations for higher education had been reduced a million dollars were thrown into a terrible state of j excitement over the fact that junior shine day might cost them an extra 10 cents. Such pettiness must be forgotten immediately. If there is going to be dime crawl, well and good. Go ahead and hold it. But don’t continually bicker about it. Some definite policy should be determined at once, and this should be followed in the future. The same applies to junior shine day and related activities. They all have their place in campus af- [ fairs, but they are comparatively small niches, and: they should be filled with a minimum of confusion. They do not deserve the fuss that has been made ! over them. Save that for more important matters. ■ THE PLAYERS GATHER rT~'HE REAPPEARANCE of Duedamc, campus lit-1 -*■ entry publication, is being greeted with enthusi-! asm by both faculty and student body. There has been a definite need felt at Oregon for an outlet for 1 campus talent other than the Emerald and Oregana. The venture is in no sense a commercial one, the small price charged a copy not offsetting the cost. The deficit is made up from private subscrip tions from interested students and faculty members, but the continued success of the magazine depends1 upon its newsstands sale. If the sales are too few, j even private subscription will not make up the | deficit. The high standard of the magazine is evidenced; by the fact that three of the contributions from last year’s Ducdame received honorable mention in the O’Henry collection of the best short stories of j 1932. Few other college literary publications have | been so honored. Under the direction of Elinor Fitch, who was j on tlie editorial board of Ducdame last year, the1 publication will appear some time near the end of this month. More contributions than ever before are being received, and the quantity to select from will insure an even higher literary quality. —r ■" 11 ■ Uf»E THE ORIENTAL LIBRARY A NY STUDENT who desires to familiarize liim ^ ^ self with the cultural aspects of world pro ! gress has failed in his purpose if during his four1 years in the University he does not make use of the Oriental library in Gerlinger hall. This col lection, established by Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, contains 2,800 volumes, concerning the history, lit erature, and art of China, Japan, and other Oriental countries. To have a complete knowledge of art, philosophy, history, geography, literature and other subjects that give a person a cultural background, it is! essential that a student familiarize himself with the Orient and its people. While other nations slept, civilization advanced in the Orient. From then to now there has been a steady flow of those1 deeds that go to make up what we now study in our pnilosophy, our history, and in our sciences. The Oriental library contains many rare and valuable books that are worth studying for their artistie and historical value alone, not to consider the printed matter and information in them. SPRING KEY Eli T ONGER days, sunshine with teal warmth,; ^ greening lawns.Oregon's campus waking from its winter sleep to the realization that Janu ary i.- over and spring is just around the corner. Yesterday the sun shone long and brilliantly.; Mr. Ground-hog crawled sleepily out of his hole and saw a man-sized shadow. Just why this chubby! apparition should frighten him into retiring again ami calling down the wrath of the weather gods on helpless humans it is hard to say. Thinking of it impersonally, the fuzzy little beast ought to like' his shadow and stay out a while to admire it; maybe bask a few hours in the sun. Who believes m ground-hogs anvwaj .’ Sixty-two carloads of string beans were shipped ui . u ua;. ., from Pahokee. Eta., thk ..eu.cn. At the Stake By ken ferguson promenade by carol hurlburt JIM EMMETT selects: John (Pic-. adilly Lane) Creech, because he considers him one of the ten best dressed men on the campus. (Watch for No. 6.) Yesterday Bart Siegfried felt the irresistible call of California sunshine, and so he packed and left this damp Oregon town. From now on, consequently, the burden of selecting the ten best dressed men falls on the broad shoulders of Jim Emmett. If you care to settle with him, you will find him at Harvey’s any afternoon. # sfc Just once this year has Prome nade taken cognizance of the fash ion world of movie-dom. It used to be that when you saw an over dressed woman you labelled her “Hollywood.” You looked on black lace lingerie, flashing legs, heavily mascared eyes, and fantastic fash ions with amusement, with awe perhaps, but not with envy. You continued wearing pale pink un dies, with blue for diversion and white for your wedding. You let your legs behave with discretion. But Hollywood has changed. Hollywood has become reason able. It has also become smart. If you want concrete evidence, fol low the career of Joan Crawford. Once upon a time she was a cho rus girl, nothing more, nothing less. Now she moves in society. She «is daring, but she isn't vul gar, and when she launched the “Letty Lynton” dress, with its flaring rushing of organdie over the shoulder, chic young debu tantes from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, had the gown copied. $ * * Movies are in the process of pro duction while fashions are being launched in Paris. A movie has a run of a year or two, and in order that the gowns may be smart, Hol lywood designers must keep a jump or two ahead of Paris. Cin ema fashions are exaggerated, but they must be to comply with the technical demands of the movie camera. The Garbo bob, longish, blond, curled on the ends, but lanky and straight on top was never seen in Paris or elsewhere before the ad vent of the Swedish Thunderbolt. Garbo originated the masculine iSJSJSMSlSISlSJSJSJSJSJSJSlSEISISMSlSISISISii feminine style, which now is tak ing the world by storm. She car ried herself with a gallant slouch, and today America is peopled with a race of gallant, slouching wo men. The pill-box hat of Mata Hari and Grand Hotel is what you will wear this spring. * * * i One of the most charming and startling of the new spring styles, 1933, are curling feathers of or gandie. The feather epoch began when Marlene Dietrich wore an ostrich feather boa as the fourth rate music hall singer in Morocco. The boa was as much of the un derworld as was Marlene but her unimpeachable chic lent chic to the boa. As a traveling courtesan, prac tising in the most morally infam ous part of the globe, she started the rage for the coq feather ruff in Shanghai Express. Smart women in Paris, London, New York now promenade on ball room floors in these same tantalizing, fascinating, flattering ruffs. Mr. I. Miller of footwear fame attributes the popularity of the open sandal and the patent-leather pump to Hollywood. * * * The seven stars who are consid-. ered the most chic and the best launchers of new styles are Garbo, Dietrich, Connie Bennett, Marion' Davies, Joan Crawford, Kay Fran cis, Lilyan Tashman, and Norma i Shearer. An eighth one is evolving in the person of Katherine Hep burn, who appeared here recently in "Bill of Divorcement.” # v # If you want to see one of the new Hollywood gowns, which is considered to be of great fashion import, note the "seduction” gown I 1 7 Gifts for Your Valentine ALADDIN GIFT SHOP •11 W. 10th [?!

Harry Handball says that 1928 and 1933 are all the same. They both have “million dollar cuts.” But in '28 they were highway pro jects, and now they're salary re ductions.
